(The following is an entry from my blog
THE DAILY IMPROVISER - http://the-daily-improviser.blogspot.com/ )

The Three Laws of Performance, by Steve Zaffron and Dave Logan. In the n…

THE DAILY IMPROVISER: Improvising in Business and Life. http://the-daily-improviser.blogspot.com/ )
Improvisational theory is deeply ingrained (even if not always so acknowledged) in the current thinking about the best ways to maximize organizational performance. A recent book titled

Just wanted to reach out to a whole bunch of my pals on here and share with you all that I got a new gig in May.

I am at the early stages of a project, but need to identify 2-3 improvisers that live in South Africa that could be part of a training, performance and facilitation for a large audience in S.A. They need to be experienced in all three aspects. Please only recommend if you have had extremely positive personal experience with them....or are one yourself!
Thanks
